from the dean susan gennaro

Dear Friends,

dean Susan Gennaro

I write in the midst of an exceptionally busy and fruitful period at the Connell School.

This fall we saw vivid examples of how faculty research both influenced and helped shape public policy, including—most dramatically—at our Minds Behind Mindhunter forum.

Connell School Professor and forensics expert Ann Wolbert Burgess shared a stage with retired FBI Special Agent John E. Douglas, the investigator with whom she developed Photograph: Caitlin Cunningham the theory and techniques of criminal profiling. The two talked about the fictional representations of their experiences and themselves in the hit Netflix series Mindhunter.

This issue of Voice also brings you up to date on our new Doctor of Nursing Practice program, which we are developing to ensure that advanced practice nurses possess the skills they need to translate research into practice.

We also report on how the Connell School responds to public health threats and assures that they are addressed in our curriculum. As some of you may know, this summer two of our recent graduates—Kerstin Peterleitner ’18 and Molly Tobin ’18—were first responders in an extraordinary episode on Cape Cod. They were the first to encounter and aid a man they found lying in shock, his leg bleeding profusely from a shark bite he suffered while swimming.

We are very proud that our students were so responsive—and even more pleased that they knew how to treat traumatic leg injuries appropriately.

Our faculty added that information to the Connell School curriculum following the Boston Marathon bombings, when a disproportionate number of victims suffered drastic leg wounds.

Voice is published by the William F. Connell School of Nursing and the Boston College Office of University Communications.

We will continue to do all of this work and more, responding to emerging trends you recommend we address and what we see in the ever-changing health care landscape.

Best wishes,

The true pioneers behind the gripping Netflix series

voice | winter 2019

by Judy raKowsKy

Professor Ann Wolbert Burgess was on the dais, and Robsham Theater was packed on a late afternoon in September. But this crowd wasn’t there for one of Burgess’s typically oversubscribed forensics classes. Students, faculty, administrators, and law enforcement officials had turned out to witness a reunion, of sorts, between two of the minds behind Mindhunter. The hit Netflix crime drama features fictional representations of Burgess and retired FBI Special Agent John E. Douglas, her longtime colleague, co-author, and a criminal investigator with whom she helped develop the theory and techniques of criminal profiling.

Known for years among fellow expert crime-solvers for their work revolutionizing the way law enforcement and health professionals understand deeply disturbed criminal minds, Burgess and Douglas have gained unexpected notoriety as the bases of fictional characters Wendy Carr and Holden Ford in Mindhunter. The show, which has been renewed for a second season, drew a large viewership and significant fan base in its first year. (Indeed, interest in attending the Connell School’s The Minds Behind Mindhunter program was so high that it live-streamed the event on the Boston College Facebook page.)

The criminal profiling approach to serial killers developed

by Douglas and Special Agent Robert Ressler (grizzled, chain-smoking agent Bill Tench in the show), originated in the Behavioral Sciences Unit of the FBI. It was depicted first in the novel The Silence of the Lambs (1988), the source of the 1991 Academy Award-winning movie. But Netf lix’s Mindhunter sticks close to real life, drawing heavily from a 1995 true-crime book by Douglas and Mark Olshaker, Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit (Pocket Books).

Neither the books nor Mindhunter acknowledged the role of Burgess’s foundational research in the 1970s, when she and

Boston College sociologist Lynda Lytle Holmstrom conducted a study based on 146 interviews with rape victims ranging in age from 3 to 73, and published their findings in the American Journal of Nursing. The study caught the attention of FBI brass, who were under pressure to improve police rape investigations amid a wave of unsolved sexual assaults and homicides.

Criminal motivation was largely a mystery and the field of forensics comparatively primitive when then-FBI Director William Webster issued a mandate to provide police and agents with training in investigating rapes and interviewing rape victims, Burgess said. At a time when rape victims were not coming forward and convictions were elusive, the FBI hired Burgess as a lecturer at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, where she helped advance the FBI’s understanding of violent sexual crimes through her pioneering research on rape trauma syndrome.

Webster told the investigators he wasn’t looking for “shoebox research,” Burgess recalled. He didn’t want notes collecting dust without links or follow-up. Burgess would become the principal investigator on the Criminal Personality Project, helping to move criminal profiling out of the shoebox and into a database.

Responding to a question from moderator Brian D. Griffin, a former prosecutor who helped convict Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez of first-degree murder, Burgess recalled the day she first met Douglas and Special Agent Ressler in Quantico.

“They were sitting around the classroom talking about unsolved cases,” she said. Douglas and Ressler’s conversation showed that they did not have much use for psychology, she recalled. Their attitude was: “How can I go out and find someone who has an Oedipus complex?”

Douglas said that psychologists’ notes from court and corrections files offered few insights to apply to future investigations. “If you go through records classified by psychologists throughout [the killers’] lives, they don’t mean anything.”

He said that he and Ressler were soon impressed by Burgess’s insights from interviewing rape victims and her forensic scientist’s eye for patterns of behavior. They were struck by the applicability of Burgess’s study of heart attack victims, which profiled the characteristics of those who returned to work the fastest.

“We have to reverse the engineering,” and interpret the profiling variables in a homicide, Douglas recalls saying at the time. They eventually came to look at the offender.

The team began to analyze crimes for signs based on what was left behind: The criminal acts were either organized and preplanned, or disorganized, impulsive—apparently carried out by someone under the inf luence of alcohol or drugs, he said. They determined that the experts—the convicted killers whose crimes had defied understanding—ought to be interviewed. It was a game-changing idea.

At the time, Douglas was traveling the country with Ressler doing training with local police departments. “Bob and I had downtime so we decided to go to the prisons. Let’s go talk to Charles Manson about his victim selection; let’s find out why they confess if someone confesses to a crime,” Douglas said.

“Ann was very interested in what we were doing going into prisons,” he added. Burgess said she thought the idea had promise: The highly intelligent convicts, after all, had little to do in prison but ref lect on their crimes. And some of them might want to gloat.

Notably, the show changes the identity of Burgess, a psychiatric mental health nurse, to that of Wendy Carr, a no-nonsense psychologist and a closeted lesbian who moves to Quantico, Virginia, to be close to the FBI Academy and the agents she was working with. Burgess—who has used the mischaracterization of her character as a psychologist to educate people on the forensic role of nurses—said that she and her husband, Allen, were raising four children in Boston at the time the series is set. A pilot, he would frequently f ly her down to Quantico, and would sometimes transport her and the FBI investigators to crime scenes.

Burgess, for her part, remembered those early days when the agents’ families and hers carried some of the workload.

“Before we had funding, our children did data entry,” Burgess said. “That is,” she quipped, “if they wanted to have supper that night.”

In addition to details of the real beginnings of Mindhunter, Burgess and Douglas’s recollections were paired with riveting film clips of actual prison interviews, some presented in tandem with their Netf lix recreations. One clip screened was an excerpt from a prison interview Douglas conducted with Ed Kemper, a clever, garrulous, and eerily engaging serial killer who stands at six-feet nine and weighs 300 pounds. Kemper graphically described luring female college students into his car for the last ride of their lives; how he knew a week in advance that he would murder his mother and abuse her corpse.

Burgess and Douglas determined that the experts—the convicted killers whose crimes had defied understanding— ought to be interviewed. It was a gamechanging idea.

But Mindhunter accurately portrays Burgess’s instrumental role in helping the profiling program secure its initial funding—and giving it scientific legitimacy, according to Douglas. “If it weren’t for Ann we wouldn’t have this program,” Douglas told the audience. He credits Burgess for “pushing us or we never would have gotten” initial grants of $200,000 and $185,000.

Perhaps more important, “We learned from Ann how to conduct an interview,” he added.

Burgess developed a 57-page computerized notebook the agents started filling out before they went to a prison interview. Each included family histories and police, court, and corrections records. Burgess wanted them to tape record everything, but the investigators had to gain enough trust of the convicted serial predators to record them. So in the beginning, they took good notes and filled out the rest of the answers after returning to the hotel after the interview, Douglas said.

The 36 prison interviews the team conducted, Burgess said, helped investigators develop a database that was the basis of a book, Sexual Homicides: Patterns and Motives (Free Press, 1988), which she co-authored with Ressler (who died in 2013) and Douglas.

In the four decades since, Burgess has studied, taught, written, and testified about crime from the point of view of the victim and the criminal. She continues applying her research to new areas, such as the study of school shooters and elderly abuse, while teaching a full load of courses.

“It’s amazing that something you have done decades ago is in the spotlight again,” she said. “I never imagined the work going into a TV series.”

Netf lix has renewed Mindhunter for a second season with the same cast: Anna Torv plays Burgess’s character and Jonathan Groff plays Douglas.

Translating research for real life

New DNP program focuses on the science of improving care

by Alicia Potter Illustration: Ikon Images/Alamy

In fall 2019, the Connell School of Nursing (CSON) welcomes the first cohort of students to its newest program, the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). An academic pathway to the most advanced practice degree in the field, the DNP focuses on clinical practice and translating research findings into practice. DNP candidates will be expected to develop both clinical expertise and a comprehensive understanding of epidemiology, organizational leadership, and health care systems, according to Susan Kelly-Weeder, associate dean for graduate programs at the Connell School.

Rather than writing a dissertation that generates new research— a requirement at the Connell School and in most other nursing Ph.D. programs—candidates for the new doctoral degree will apply their clinical and classroom experience in a rigorous “practice change project” dedicated to improving health care outcomes for a particular patient population.

These projects will apply existing research in practice, develop evidence-based solutions for better patient outcomes, and identify ways and means of delivering more efficient care. Kelly-Weeder expects the project to be completed over the last two semesters of what will be a three-year program for most students (see sidebar).

The landmark 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health recommended improving the education and training of nurses at all

levels and expanding their role in meeting patients’ rapidly changing needs. As the IOM and most professional nursing organizations see it, educating more nurses at the DNP level is a key to reducing the lag time between lab bench and bedside, or research and application.

The Connell School’s DNP project, says Kelly-Weeder, ref lects guidelines established by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing in 2015 for planning, implementing, and evaluating student research in the 300 DNP programs nationwide.

Students in the Boston College program will take two courses on evidence-based practice to prepare for their projects. Additional knowledge and skills, in students’ specialty areas of practice— adult-gerontology, family, nurse anesthesia, pediatric, psychiatric/ mental health, or women’s health—will be integrated in all coursework, says Kelly-Weeder.

Learn more: www.bc.edu/csondnp DNP faculty will consult with the Connell School’s clinical partners at outpatient hospital clinics, community health centers, and other primary care settings in Greater Boston, with a goal of identifying enduring practice problems that might reap the rewards of evidence-based research. These could include clinical concerns—for instance, treating the complicated health care needs of individuals with diabetes—or organizational challenges, such as using electronic medical records to monitor patients with particular diagnoses.

Connell School faculty and their clinical practice partners will help ensure the projects’ relevance, feasibility, and quality.

Students will be matched to project sites based on their specialty areas and scholarly interests, then mentored by a faculty member and on-site clinician during all phases of their projects.

As they complete their individual DNP work, students will also work in small groups of three to five with other Connell

School DNP candidates who share their interests and background, says Kelly-Weeder. Students addressing diabetes medication compliance at a community health center, for instance, might focus on identifying barriers that affect different populations—nursing mothers, the elderly, or newly diagnosed patients, for example—and devise multifactorial solutions to advance their care.

The Connell School plans to hold an annual event where graduating students in the DNP program will present their applied research. While DNP faculty advisors will help those students who want to publish their outcomes in scholarly journals, KellyWeeder emphasizes that “the primary goal of the DNP project is implementation.” The final phase of the doctoral program, she observes, will demonstrate students’ ability to not only evaluate and manage health care environments serving a diverse range of patients but also to help “lead the change that we so critically need to improve care.”

Apply to the DNP Program Criteria for admission to the Connell School Doctorate in Nursing Practice program differ and depend on a candidate’s level of academic and professional experience. Registered nurses (RNs) and experienced nurse practitioners (NPs) must meet different criteria than those who enter the program with a B.A. or B.S. in a field other than nursing. Prerequisites for applicants to the nurse anesthetist DNP vary as well.

ILLARS OF PINNOVATION Connell School identifies rich, robust areas of faculty research

by Zachary Jason Illustration: Classic Image/Alamy Stock Photo

The Connell School of Nursing has long been defined by its mission: training nurse leaders to care for the whole person. But despite its rising profile as a research institution, Connell has yet to identify (or brand) the strengths of its faculty in different areas of inquiry. That is why Professor Christopher Lee spent most of his first year as CSON’s associate dean for research doing just that. And after interviewing faculty about their research interests and goals, looking back at 15 years of faculty publications, and scrutinizing sources of external funding, Lee determined that the Connell School researchers distinguish themselves in three key areas: health equity For women and children, person- and Family-oriented aging, and saFety and quality oF care.

Lee calls these categories “Pillars of Innovation.”

The nomenclature, he says, allows the Connell School to better brand itself while identifying more opportunities for faculty collaborations, recruiting graduate students, and securing grants.

A cardiovascular nurse scientist, Lee began analyzing and categorizing faculty research at Connell soon after arriving at the school in January 2018. “It was an important exercise, both to familiarize myself with faculty, and to determine the cross-currents between all of their work,” he said.

He had helped conduct similar faculty overviews at the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his Ph.D., and at the Oregon Health & Science University, where he worked for seven years, most recently as the Carol A. Lindeman Distinguished Professor, before moving to Boston College.

10 voice | winter 2019

In 2017–18, CSON faculty received $1.1 million in external-sponsored research funding—more than in the previous two academic years combined, Lee said. The support came from the federal government, the National Institutes of Health, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and elsewhere. Projects ranged from Supporting Family Caregivers in Transition, led by Associate Professor Ellen Mahoney, to Associate Professor Jane Flanagan’s Post-Acute Outcomes in Nursing Home Residents with Dementia, to Associate Professor Holly Fontenot’s Using Mobile Application Strategies to Increase HPV Vaccination Rates Among Young Men who have Sex with Men. To find the common thread among them, Lee examined the keywords most commonly used in project abstracts and in the past 15 years of publications and grant applications. Based on these and

palliative care nurse scientist and Associate Professor Susan DeSanto-Madeya.

what he learned during one-on-one interviews with colleagues, Lee determined that all research-oriented faculty members fit naturally within one of the three categories, or pillars.

Twelve faculty, for instance, fall within the Health Equity for Women and Children category—a group that includes Associate Professor Joyce Edmonds, who studies cesarean delivery rates; Assistant Professor Nadia N. Abuelezam, who applies mathematical models to understand the impacts of HIV treatment and prevention strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa; and Susan KellyWeeder, who researches the co-occurrence of high-risk eating and drinking behaviors, Lee noted.

The Safety and Quality of Care pillar comprises nine faculty, from Associate Professor Judith Shindul-Rothschild, a psychiatric nurse clinical specialist, to Professor Ann Wolbert Burgess, a pioneer in assessing victims of abuse and trauma.

While other schools often organize their faculty researchers based on the diseases and disorders they study (e.g., respiratory or sexually transmitted diseases), illness “is not what binds us,” says Lee. “Our bigger mission is improving quality of care, health equity, and treatment of aging, across contexts.”

The Person- and Family-Oriented Aging pillar includes 11 faculty—from Lee, who takes a data-driven, “biobehavioral profiling” approach to heart disease, to

And while Lee admits that “almost every faculty member could fit easily into more than one of these categories,” he said he organized each “pillar,” or sub-group, to create forums of faculty who share themes

in their primary research. Each group, says Lee, plans to meet regularly to “think more strategically about what do we, as a group, want to accomplish in the next few years?

“The categories are extremely helpful,” Lee adds, “because they can help us recruit faculty with common interests, and even doctoral students. Also, while researchers traditionally have perpetually applied for grants to support their own work, having united fronts makes us eligible for funding as a group of scientists—from Institutional Research Training Grants, to Exploratory Centers, to Centers of Excellence, to Cooperative Agreements.

“Researchers naturally zero in on their own work to get research done,” he adds, “but it can be insular and isolating. Taking the time to see where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts can help faculty have a greater collective inf luence.”

FACULTY FOCI Christopher Lee’s year-long investigation found that faculty at the Connell School fall into three primary categories of research. They are comprised of:

Welcoming our new faculty by debra bradley ruder Photographs: Peter Julian

They study workplace bullying, illness as a shared experience, and the efficiency of nurse practitioner-provided care. One has been treating inmates and detained immigrants in prisons. All four are passionate about teaching, evidence-based practice, and the Connell School’s values and sense of community. Meet the newest members of our faculty.

Laura Dzurec senior scholar Laura Dzurec, Ph.D., PMHCNS-BC, ANEF, FAAN, says she fell in love with Boston College in 2016 when she consulted with Connell School leaders during the school’s successful application to be designated one of the National League for Nursing’s Centers of Excellence in Nursing Education. “I can’t believe how wonderful this place is,” she recalls telling a faculty member at the time. “I could feel the giving. I could feel the support. I could feel the energy.”

Dzurec (sounds like “Zurich”) joins the Connell faculty as a senior scholar after four years as professor and dean of the Widener University School of Nursing in Chester, Pennsylvania. Before that, she spent more than two decades in top nursing school administration jobs, including deanships at the University of Connecticut in Storrs (2000–06) and Kent State (2006–13).

A psychiatric nurse practitioner by training, Dzurec studies workplace bullying—a common scourge in nursing

and higher education, she says. She is also interested in the broader topic of interactions between individuals and their environments. Currently, she is researching how bullying that takes place in the workplace, especially by nursing peers, interferes with people’s willingness to try new ideas.

Dzurec, an Ohio native who earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing at the University of Connecticut, a master’s at Ohio State, and a Ph.D. at Case Western Reserve, is passionate about nursing education. She is convinced, she says, that a successful educator provides information and psychological support, part of which comprises “making very sure you don’t make people feel stupid.” She is excited about teaching the Nursing Synthesis Clinical course, and about supporting the school’s 2018 recognition by the National League for Nursing of its excellence in promoting the pedagogical expertise of faculty. “In my heart of hearts, I am a teacher.”

Karen Lyons associate proFessor Patients’ illnesses often take a physical and emotional toll on their caregiving partners or adult children. Karen Lyons, Ph.D., FGSA, views caregivers and recipients as dyads, or teams—and she wants to optimize the health and well-being of them all.

Lyons, who joins Connell after nearly 20 years at Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing in Portland, where she was an associate professor and directed the Ph.D. program, studies family and dyadic experiences of chronic illness.

She is particularly interested in how dyads appraise a condition like heart disease or cancer, and how that affects its management.

She explores these dynamics in “The Theory of Dyadic Illness Management,” an article developed with Connell School Associate Dean for Research Christopher Lee, which was published in the Journal

of Family Nursing in February 2018. “We’re trying to provoke discussion about what would balancing the health of both people look like?” she notes. “Our ultimate goal is to drive the way we support families.”

Lyons, a health psychologist, has published widely across the fields of nursing, gerontology, and psychology and has led or contributed to numerous interdisciplinary studies on dyads and health.

Raised in Dublin, Ireland, she earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at University College Dublin and initially came to the US to pursue a doctorate in human development and family studies at Penn State (1999), then joined OHSU. She’s excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Connell School faculty around illness management and to teach graduate students. She says, “I really want to give back and mentor future generations of researchers and clinicians.”

Monica O’Reilly-Jacob assistant proFessor

Health policy researcher Monica O’Reilly-Jacob, Ph.D., M.S. (Nursing)/M.A. (Pastoral Ministry) ’07, FNP-BC, studies outcomes of care provided by nurse practitioners (NPs), and she hopes her work will bolster efforts to relax and expand scope-of-practice laws for NPs nationally.

“I want to show that our care is valuable and safe, and patients should have access to it,” she says.

O’Reilly-Jacob grew up in Burlington, Vermont, and discovered her love for patient care in college while volunteering on a student-run ambulance. After earning a B.S. in nursing at Oregon’s University of Portland (2001), she pursued a dual master’s degree in nursing and pastoral ministry at Boston College.

Working at community health centers in Connecticut and Massachusetts while she was a student and after graduation, O’Reilly-Jacob was alarmed by the caregiver 14 voice | winter 2019

burnout she witnessed. “I started to have bigger questions about the stability of the primary care workforce and how nurse practitioners could address impending [physician] shortages or weaknesses in that system,” she recounts. Those questions convinced her to pursue a doctorate at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University, where her dissertation research compared the efficiency of care provided by NPs and physicians.

O’Reilly-Jacob, who continues to work as a part-time school NP, is teaching an undergraduate course on nursing health assessment and co-teaching a Ph.D. course on health care policy this year. “I’m really excited to return to a community of nurses,” she says, “and I’m thrilled that I can marry my passion for patient care with my policy-oriented research.”

Victor Petreca clinical assistant proFessor For the past few years, Victor Petreca, DNP, PMHNP-BC, CNP, has been caring for inmates with mental illness and immigrants detained in local prisons.

He has also been introducing nursing students to these marginalized groups.

A psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner, Petreca is now translating his real-world experience in advanced practice nursing and psychopharmacology, and his passion for evidence-based practice, into a full-time clinical teaching role at Connell.

A native of Brazil, Petreca came to the US on a scholarship from Eastern Michigan University, where he earned a bachelor’s in clinical laboratory sciences/ medical technology in 2009. He spent several years performing diagnostic tests at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Curious about the connection between brain chemistry and human behavior, he decided to go into nursing, and earned a B.S.N. and an M.S.N. in psychiatric and mental health lifespan from the MGH Institute of Health Professions. That led to a doctor of nursing

practice degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2017.

Starting in 2013, Petreca’s interest in forensics and character pathology took him to several Massachusetts correctional facilities, where he treated inmates convicted of violent crimes (many with personality disorders, he says) as well as distressed immigrants being held by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Last year, he “precepted” Connell graduate students at the Bristol County Jail and House of Correction while teaching nursing at Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts.

At Connell, Petreca is teaching Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nursing Across the Lifespan and Psychopharmacology while supervising students in their clinical placements. The academic appointment, he says, is beyond a dream come true. “Considering my background [as a Brazilian immigrant], this really doesn’t happen to people like me,” he says.

“It’s just amazing.”
